10 Reasons to Work at Summer Camp in America

Being a camp counselor at summer camp is one of the greatest summer jobs out there. Don’t believe us yet? Here’s our top 10 reasons of why you absolutely should...

You get paid to have fun

Camp is all about creating a fun, epic and energetic environment.

Sure you'll work hard, real hard, but when you are doing something you love… is it really work?

Your days are spent laughing and smiling, with each one filled with enough adventure to last a lifetime, plus getting dollar... sign us up!

The children

Without campers, camps wouldn't exist - you’ll have the time of your life, but at the end of the day it’s all about the kids.

Luckily they are without doubt the best thing about camp! They will make you feel like the most important person in the world, because to them - you are. That’s pretty darn special.

The after camp adventures

Not only do you get to experience the insanely wonderful world of summer camp, you also get 30 days to travel after.

Go see the Grand Canyon, blow all your wages in Vegas, sample the seafood in Boston or the even music in New Orleans! There are so many options and only 30 days to cram it all in.

Live the US culture

Destroy the stereotypes and learn about the true American culture.

It's so much better than the movies!

Gain independence

You’re heading to the land of independence. They even have a special day for it!

You will be heading out to the US to fly solo.

Scary? Or finally the freedom you need? Even if it's a little of both we will be there to support you 24/7 but you will return home after camp in one piece and a much more independent person.

It’s no desk job

You will spend most of the day outside playing games or relaxing in the beautiful, idyllic scenery with your campers.

The weather is generally great too so you'll not only look healthy but feel it too. We like that.

Make your CV dazzling

The skills learned at camp during your summer work are perfect for adding to your CV or resume.

You will improve your leadership, organisation and presentation skills as well as gain experience working with people of all personalities and backgrounds.

Job interview? Smashed it.

Make lifelong friends

The friends made at camp are amongst the closest you'll ever have.

You'll meet people from all walks of life and from all over the world and will have endless invitations for places to visit after camp!

Gain extra qualifications

Camp Leaders can help you gain qualifications both at home and in the US at camp.

So if you've ever thought of being a lifeguard, swim instructor, work with children with special needs or gain any kind of new skill, camp is for you.

Memories which will last a lifetime

Camp may only last for a summer but the experiences you gain and share with your new best friends will last forever.

You’ll never forget that epic summer you spent at summer camp, you’ll never let your friends forget it, but most importantly your campers will never forget you.
